IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR S'HIFTING SUGAR-FANS.V

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 47.583, dated May 2, i865.

. boiling apparatus embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same. l

A represents the external walls of the furnance, on which the pan B rests for boiling.

C c C' of are two railways,one on each4 side of the pan.

D d D d are arms hinged to the panside, as shown, and bearing grooved wheels E e E e', which rest constantly upon the ways C c and CV c.

F and F are two levers, whose studs or roll- I ers G rest, respectively, upon the arms D d and D' d', so that by depressing the'levers, as in Fig. 1, the pan may be lifted bodily from the furnace-walls, so as to rest by its wheels E, e, E', and e upon the ways C c and C c.

The levers, having been depressed, are held down by any suitable catches, such as shown at H and I-I or at h.

The portions c and c' of the ways may beso attached to their supports as to vbe capable of being unshipped when not inuse, (see Fig. 2,)

so as to permit the operators to approach the l; pan from any direction. The ways c and c', y when thus removable, may be capable of being 1 lifted clear out of their bearings, or the ends most remote from the pan may be hinged to` their bearings, as at I, and may in their closedfm position be additionally held in place by doWels J.

I claim herein as new and of my inventionl. In the described combination with a fur-"1 nace and railway, the mode of elevating the evaporatingpan onto the ways `by means of l y t-he arms D d D d', wheels E e E e', levers F l GrV F G, and catches H H', or devices sub- ,t

stantially equivalent.
